itude now made them feel somewhat sympathetic towards him.Su Can didn't tell the two about his actual scores; on one hand, he didn’t want to publicize it since his grade was only mid-to-lower range wi...Chapter 60: Running with the Waves

What's so great about McDonald's and KFC They have already been labeled as garbage food by foreign countries, yet they are now spreading wildly across China, making money everywhere. This is not only an economic invasion but also a cultural infiltration. For children born in recent years, eating soft rice every day might be considered ordinary, while being able to eat at McDonald's once a week would make them feel proud. In the future, many kids will only know about McDonald's and KFC, wear Converse and Nike, play World of Warcraft, drink Coca-Cola, and eat Western food. How many people will truly recognize which country they are standing on" As he got carried away with his speech, Su Can clenched his fist lightly.

Zeng Yuan and Wang Ming both stared at Su Can in shock, probably stunned by the sudden outburst of reason from him.

"Brother, are you sick or something" Zeng Yuan hesitantly asked.

"You're the one who's sick!" Su Can rolled his eyes at this kid.

Seeing Su Can’s abnormal behavior, Wang Ming cautiously said, "Sorry, I've only seen those fast food restaurants on TV. I just wanted to know what they taste like and won't give up eating rice."

Su Can:

Zeng Yuan thought for a moment and then said, "Brother, aren’t you satisfied yet Your family plus Wang Sister's already have three branch stores. Our aunt suddenly became wealthy. The day I went to my mom’s place to play cards, she didn't even feel sad about losing seven or eight hundred yuan. If it were before, she would be upset for days! Look how much our lives have improved now." He pointed at the swimming pool which used to be a luxury to come to once in a while. "I’m counting on you to take over your mother’s business and become an entrepreneur in the future. If you can't get into university after high school, I’ll come work for you! You definitely won’t treat me badly."

Although he used to follow Su Can around for minor matters, he still looked down on Su Can when it came to major issues, especially influenced by his father who thought little of Su Can. During elementary and middle school years, Su Can's academic performance was always the worst in the family. However, after smoothly entering high school at City No. 1 High School, even his arrogant older sister started looking up to him.

Although he did not want to acknowledge it openly because that would mean admitting his own shortcomings, he had a change of heart about Su Can inside. Moreover, although their family was once the poorest among them three siblings, he now dared to smash Zeng Quanming's ashtray which used to be off-limits even for him, and even earned praise from Zeng Quanming afterward.

The idea he came up with had brought his family three stationery stores that were continually profitable. He himself was not bad either, though still far behind Su Can.

"Is this all you care about People say giving someone a fish is not as good as teaching them to fish, but it seems like what you're after are the fishes themselves." Su Can smiled and spoke in a way that he could understand.

But he didn't expect that if he casually mentioned Zeng Yuan, Wang Ming would have a smug expression and say something like, "You know me well, don’t you"

Now, under the gaze of Wang Ming, who was staring at their two brothers, it touched his sore spot. His face immediately turned to Su Can, and he said, "I was just joking! Do you really think I would stick with you Who am I In the future, I’ll own a company and drive luxury cars. If I don’t like your three chain stores at that time, I'll give them to you for several ten thousand yuan as compensation. Hmph, aren't you still working for me then"

Su Can’s gaze sharpened as he looked at Zeng Yuan. This made Zeng Yuan’s hand shake and his heart race. Was this older brother angry "Five years from now, if I have such an idea, I’ll give it to you! If you dare take it, I dare give it!" Su Can climbed up the ladder and walked towards the diving board.

"If I dare take it, why can’t I" Although Zeng Yuan said this, he heard his voice weaken. It was as if his older brother had changed in that moment; the deep and firm tone made him feel uneasy. But at least he could still retort and salvage some dignity.

When Wang Ming mentioned stationery chains, she didn’t think much of it. However, when Su Can said they would進駐星海廣場and establish the largest department store supermarket in Xihaikou, her mind was truly baffled. The leap from a stationery specialty store to a full-fledged supermarket retail business required enormous capital and resources.

She didn’t need to think deeply; Wang Ming could already feel that Su Can’s ideas were too unrealistic. Even if Su Can said he would open branches in every corner of Xihaikou, or even exaggerate it to the provincial capital, she believed in him without hesitation. However, opening a branch in Dacheng and then進駐星海廣場as a large supermarket department store was entirely different; the scale and gap were not easily calculable.

After some hesitance, Wang Ming said what she least wanted to say but had to: "Ultimately, we still lack money."

Although they grasped the pulse of the golden age, their inability to meet certain conditions prevented them from fully capitalizing on it. Whenever they were just a step away from fitting into the times, how could this not be regrettable

But when Wang Ming looked at Su Can, she always had confidence in him. Since he said so, even though it was vague and unrealistic, she still chose to believe!

Su Can stood on the diving board, and suddenly, a gust of wind swept past; more people raised their heads to look. Zeng Yuan, however, laughed and said with a teasing tone, "Brother, you’re not afraid of heights, right I remember you were scared of it before. Are you really going to jump"

There weren’t any who truly dared to jump from this three-meter diving board today in the swimming pool. Those who had mustered up courage to win favor among the girls ended up with miserable fates; their impressive physical appearances only brought attention before the dive, but afterwards, all goodwill and impressions vanished.

Even Zeng Yuan, while his pose was帥氣after this jump, wasn’t enjoying it. The sensation of splashing into the water wasn’t enjoyable at all; most of his body felt scalded red. If not for saving face, he would have screamed in pain from the impact.

If he were to do it a second time, even if all the curvaceous and slim girls by the pool clapped for him enthusiastically and the guys felt ashamed of themselves in comparison, he would still be too scared to do it. Naturally, he had no high opinion of Su Can at this moment, and said, "Auntie Wang Ming, I know he's just trying to catch your attention. Don't be fooled by how composed he looks now; he must be nervous inside!"

Only after saying this did Zeng Yuan realize that she had kicked Su Can into the pool for making a small joke earlier. Now she was being so loose-lipped; wouldn't it be her turn to suffer next

Closing her eyes and waiting for a moment, she didn’t see Wang Ming’s subsequent actions come around. Seeing Zeng Yuan turning her head over in confirmation, Wang Hu blushed slightly as she said hesitantly, "Don’t say nonsense."

But her gaze was fixed on Su Can.

He already stood at 175 cm tall with muscular arms. Every night he did three sets of exercises to build up his biceps, triceps, and chest muscles via push-ups. His skin was taut and sinewy, revealing the outline of six abdominal muscles, not unnaturally pale but instead a healthy light brown color, like when foam is added to coffee or hot chocolate.

He stood there as if waiting for someone to watch him leap off the diving board, his body drawing out an athletic arc in mid-air.

A few girls sitting by the pool couldn’t help but sit up straight when they saw Su Can on the diving board. Some even covered their mouths with their hands. A few more aloof ones stopped chatting and turned to look, lifting their chins slightly. The boys didn’t make exaggerated expressions, but the corners of their lips lifted involuntarily. This boy was trying to be cool and suave, but it wasn’t bad.

Wang Hu watched Su Can, recalling how she had roughhoused with him earlier, touching his well-toned skin and feeling his healthy body, causing her heart rate to accelerate. Seeing the expressions of admiration from other girls around them, a sense of satisfaction and superiority welled up in her. The boys were starting to get nervous; it seemed Su Can might actually dive off the board. If he did, it would be quite impressive given his posture, which resembled a yoga pose and looked very professional. They feared that if Su Can jumped elegantly into the water, they wouldn’t be able to hold their heads up in front of the girls anymore. How many points had already been deducted from their impressions due to this scene If he beat them to it, wouldn't they all have to bury their heads underwater in shame

The atmosphere was stretched tight until the last moment.

Su Can took a deep breath and his expression turned dejected.

He turned around and shook his head as he walked away from the diving board.

In the end, he still didn’t dare to jump. Staying here made him feel like his heart was going to stop… A murmur of disappointment came from those watching eyes, which dimmed at that moment.

Somewhere, a girl let out a "pfft" sound, giggling.

The male students seemed to have been saved and immediately regained their energy, feeling relieved. Now they didn't need to bury their heads anymore; some of them even mocked Su Can sarcastically.

Seeing the obvious disappointment on everyone's faces after the tense moment, Wang Ming subconsciously wanted to support Su Can by holding his hand tightly. However, she didn't know what to do at that moment and just hoped that Su Can wouldn't embarrass himself... Once she realized this, Zeng Yuan was amused by the stark contrast between Su Can’s previous behavior and his current state as he turned around with a bouncy gait. She pointed at him and said, "Hahaha, I told you so!"

"If you couldn't do it in another life, how about this one" A voice boomed in his ear.

Su Can's shattered courage coalesced once more, with his blood pressure rising higher and higher.

In that moment, he suddenly turned around and dashed forward. His feet touched the cold diving board before continuing to run!

The sunlight on the rooftop formed columns of light, spreading evenly in all directions.

At the moment he leaped from the edge,

he was like a dolphin.

I would be very satisfied if you guys don't leave because of some temporary disagreement or dissatisfaction during the current low point of the narrative development.
